Al Qasba can go from a peaceful spot to wander and sit and enjoy the view in the daytime to a hive of activity in the evening.
Either side of the canal are identical buildings using beautiful Islamic architecture. Both house restaurants, cafes and bookshops, one has a theatre and the other an art gallery.
As well as the lovely gardens and painted bridge, there are both indoor and outdoor play areas (paid) as well as rides and you can take a boat ride down the canal and around al Khan Lagoon.
Al Qasba often hosts festivals such as food festivals and Sharjah Light Festival.
